G-Tech G-Speed eS
eSATA Protected Storage Solution for SD and HD Editing

High-Speed, Low Cost eSATA Storage Solutions for Creative Professionals
Specifically designed for professional content creation applications, G-SPEED eS features a high-speed 3Gbit/sec eSATA interface and provides RAID 5 data protection when used in conjunction with the optional G-Tech PCI Express (PCIe) RAID controller. G-SPEED eS supports multi-stream video editing workflows on Mac Pro and Windows workstations at an unprecedented low cost per TB.

Multiple RAID Levels & JBOD
When used with the G-Tech RAID controller, G-SPEED eS can easily be configured as a RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 or as a JBOD. This flexibility enables the system to be tuned to the required level of performance and fault-tolerance necessary to support your application. G-SPEED eS can also be set up as a software RAID or JBOD when used with third party port multiplier aware eSATA host adapters.

G-SPEED eS RAID Controller Breaks the 2TB Disk Capacity Limit on Windows XP!
Windows 2000 / XP are 32 bit operating systems with a built-in limitation that logical disks cannot be greater than 2TB (2048GB). The G-SPEED eS RAID Controller breaks this barrier with a new technology, Variable Sector Size (VSS). VSS increases the sector size presented to the operating system making it possible to now have logical disks of up to 16TB! No more breaking large disk volumes into multiple 2TB volumes!

Compact Desktop Enclosure
G-SPEED eS features a compact aluminum desktop enclosure with 4 lockable SATA II drive modules, each with up to 32 MB of cache.

Supports the Latest Video Editing Gear!
G-SPEED eS supports the latest and greatest professional video editing systems from AJA, Avid, Blackmagic Design and more. Our testing lab is stocked with all the latest gear to ensure full compatibility.

Many aspects of the system are monitored, including power supply voltage, Fan RPM and the temperature of the RAID controller & hard drives. In the event of a problem, G-SPEED eS can send an email message to up to four recipients.
